"Code Studio is the perfect stepping stone between visual coding simulators currently used in most primary schools and real-world languages like Python, Java and C++/# etc.

"It comes with everything you need to learn to code in one app.

"Users can code their own games and share the experience with friends and family – imagine creating your own game then transferring it to a big screen with multiple controllers so others can play your creations.

"Thanks to Nintendo Switch’s revolutionary design this becomes a reality – and coders will soon be learning how to interact with external devices, sensors and motion controls in ways not previously possible."

FUZE Code Studio for Nintendo Switch will be available sometime between April and June 2018.

Additional gaming content will be made available via DLC add-on packs.

Meanwhile in other Nintendo Switch news, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has spoken about why Samus Aran’s next Metroid adventure was released so early in development.

Metroid Prime 4 was the shock announcement of the Nintendo Direct shown during E3, with just a logo for the game being shown.

Nintendo has already said the Metroid Prime 4 release date will be "beyond 2017”.

And Reggie has spoken out about how much progress has been made making the game, and said it will be in development for a “decent amount of time”

Speaking to IGN, he said: “You know, for us, we believe that having hands-on opportunity married to an announcement is really the best way to do it.

“And so let’s take Super Mario Odyssey for example. We could have announced it months ago, but we weren’t yet ready, the team wasn’t ready, to show it and to let the consumer really understand visually how the hat mechanic works, how the capture mechanic comes into play.

“And so that’s how we think these through.

“For certain games, games that will be in development for, let’s call it a decent amount of time, like Metroid Prime 4 — also, given that it’s a franchise that we know people have been very eager to get some news — that’s when, fine, we’ll share it.

“We’ll share it early. Others, we want to hold closer in and reveal it when the gameplay is going to be available. It literally is game by game, title by title, how we make that decision.”

Nintendo's decision to reveal Metroid Prime 4 early has certainly paid off, with the Nintendo broadcast being one of the highlights of E3 2017.

The Japanese gaming giant also revealed that a Pokemon game for the Switch is currently in development.

They also revealed more on Super Mario Odyssey, and announced a release date of October 27 2017.
